Monitoring dynamics of green spaces in Surkhandarya region based on remote sensing data of climate change
Аннотация
Smallholder farmers in Uzbekistan have been facing severe climate-related hazards, particularly highly variable drought. Climate change-induced rise in temperature is the main impetus for more reforms and adoption of modern technologies in the agricultural sector. This article analyzes the data of 2 weather stations, including Kamashi and Shakhrisabz, in 2017, 2018, and 2019 to study the effects of climate change in the Surkhandarya region and its border areas. These weather stations provide temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, and humidity deficit information. In addition, Landsat 8 OLI images for the study area were used for land cover change analysis in 2010, 2015, and 2020. In addition, NDVI analysis for the studied area was also carried out. From these data, it can be concluded that intensive horticulture plantations implemented in the region effectively reduce climate change's impact on the agro-economic sector.
